O impacto do mestrado profissional em educação na formação de um docente da educação básica

Abstract

This article aims to present reflections about the incessant searches for the reelaboration of my pedagogical practice, awakened in me as a master's student in the Master's Program in Education at the Federal University of Lavras. Over the two years of master's degree, methods, perspectives and theories related to Education and the act of teaching were presented, in addition to the suggestion of reading countless texts and books. In view of all the content addressed, I drew attention to issues related to the social dimension of the school and the classroom, of thinking about the real function and role of the teacher and of the link between teaching and the social context in which the school is inserted. Thus, in this work, I report how to reflect on such issues influenced me to modify my practices in the classroom. In the first section, I talk about my experience in the Professional Master's in Education, in the second, I address the social issue of teaching and, in the third, I discuss the classroom as an environment for discoveries and investigations. I hope that the ideas shared here will serve as an incentive for those teachers who, like me, dream of providing education that forges capable citizens with a desire to transform the context in which they live.
